New Environments, New Tools They are everywhere. Standing on the corners of streets. Lying on park benches. Sitting on the stoops of steps. Having a homeless community is not strange to urban cities—overpopulation in areas with skyrocketing housing prices can leave hundreds of people without a roof over their heads. Charleston is not immune to…

“Ye are my witnesses” –Isaiah 43:10 Let’s get something straight, America is not the police officers shooting bean bags, spraying mace and locking up protestors in North Dakota.

For some, however, the issue becomes much more than the fine; it is their reasons for trespassing, what led them to drinking in public, what they needed—and thus had to steal—that is the true issue. For many people experiencing homelessness, accumulated…

Self-care. Not just in learning how to relax when your schedule becomes stressful or how to keep a daily facial regimen that stops your t-zone from shining.

“People don’t realize what’s really going on in this country. There are a lot things that are going on that are unjust. People aren’t being held accountable. And that’s something that needs to change. That’s something that this country stands for: freedom, liberty and justice for all. And it’s not happening for all right now.”…

In his delivery, he took the opportunity to give the nation advice that, with the upcoming election, would do it good to heed. One of the main things he warned against was political factions. Washington said, “The alternate domination of one faction over…

Remember Them. Langley Southerton. Thomas Morris. James Doyle. Three names of tens of thousands representing the mixture of lives that were deported to Spike Island Prison in the 19th century. These are just three names of many that have been lost to the whistling winds of a small-sea town called Cobh nestled within Cork Harbour,…

Ronda Rousey, former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Women’s Bantamweight Champion, was born with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck, depriving her of oxygen; she could not speak intelligibly until she was six. Holly Holm, daughter of a preacher and another former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion, began her love of boxing during an Aerobics class,…

Society draws a thick line between nature and humans, separating two entities that are one and the same. This line should be erased. Sustainability, which by many people is understood as conserving natural resources, is far more than reducing, reusing and recycling. Sustainability is just as vital to culture and community as it is to the…
